Izzy isn't seriously hurting anyone unless they rush in or overcommit and Costa isnt some wild brawler like some on here claim.
Costa is not only powerful but he fights from a true boxer's stance with his chin tucked and his hands up even during exchanges.
Costa has big body kicks and nasty body work with his boxing which is what Adesanya leaves open all of the time.
Also, Adesanya cannot afford to allow Costa to get in the pocket so he can find a perfect counter like he did vs Whittaker.
I think recency bias is getting a lot of Sherdoggers with this match up and Costa is a serious problem for Izzy.
Look out.
Naw...costa over commits and telegraphs strikes, watch closely even in his last fight romero was able to see all his strikes coming and aborbed or rolled with most thats a 43 year old wrestler doing that...israel is levels above romero in striking
He looked fast last time ...but agaisnt romero thats nothing new..
He plods and doesnt use angles..yes he has good defence but its not gunna matter when your loading up and swinging at air..only to get pot shotted or countered..
How in the world is that circus show comparable to Izzy v Costa.Costa is very dangerous for a guy like adesanya, this thing remember me a lot malignaggi vs artem, many people here were talking about paulie ko artem in 2 round or things like that..
Costa will never get in the pocket bc Izzy is too good to allow that to happen. Costa is extremely effective against the cage, but he'll never back Izzy up against the cage so it's irrelevant. Can't hit the body when you're getting jabbed by a man with 8+ inches of reach advantageCosta goes to the body bro. In the pocket there ain't no moving out the way, you either eat it or block and Costa will hurt him I guarantee it. He has nasty kicks to the body as well.
Adesanya cannot afford to eat anything just to give a perfect counter vs Costa. He will get hurt.
I'm guessing people forgot the Andy fight where Izzy wasn't doing well to pressure at all. Izzy would get backed into the cage, he would start to hesitate, and then was biting every feint that Andy threw. Re-watch that fight if you missed it.The All Natty Acai Goat actually boxes frequently in the pocket with a true boxing stance unlike Bobby so idk how Izzy survives eating All Natty Hooks to the body and bombs up top. It will get ugly real quick.
Just rubs me the wrong way. Got a douche vibe from him, then he got all pissy when Yoel outed him for the USADA stuff. He claimed Yoel was spreading lies and it wasn't true. Then he was suspended for 6 months for a USADA violation. Seems like a tool.Why?
WTF is this "Acai" bullshit all about?
The all natty goat does not have the footwork to back Izzy against the cage like he does to his other opponents. Izzy circles out, retakes the centre of the cage, and jabs his face off until Paulo collapses from exhaustion at the two minute mark of round 3
The all Natty king is angry and that's bad news for Adesanya.

Honestly, not sure if this should even be sanctioned considering it might be one of the most lopsided fights in ufc history.
Have mercy Natty King, have mercy on this lost soul.
POS chemlab cunt is gonna get sparked than shat on right there in the middle of the octagon.
Fuck him!
Shut up noob
